WOODTECH
Wood technology and innovation
The WOODTECH course was created, in collaboration with Confartigianato Imprese Veneto, to offer concrete and up-to-date tools to those who work with wood or want to deepen its potential, in particular in the field of innovation of wood products, drying processes and environmental qualification of the wood supply chain. It is divided into three modules in which the most important characteristics of wood products on the market will be presented, the wood drying processes and the environmental sustainability of the wood products supply chain.
The course involves the issuance of Micro-credentials.
Pre-registration deadline: 17 July 2026

The training course integrates theoretical knowledge and application tools, allowing participants to operate in professional contexts such as companies in the wood supply chain, technical firms, public bodies and consulting activities, contributing to informed and sustainability-oriented decision-making processes.
In relation to the current needs of the market, characterized by a growing focus on sustainability, quality of materials and regulatory compliance, the course allows you to develop useful skills for:
- the selection, evaluation and conscious use of the main wood products in the technical and design fields;
- the analysis of production processes, with particular reference to drying cycles and heat treatments, in order to optimize the performance of the material;
- the evaluation of the environmental performance of wood products and related supply chains through the use of the LCA methodology, to support sustainable choices and decarbonization strategies.
The course will take place from the end of August to mid-September in presence. Attendance is compulsory for at least 70% of the hours provided.
